history
Project history and usage
ttf2eot is a small command-line converter that turns TrueType/OpenType fonts into EOT files for older Internet Explorer `@font-face` workflows.
Project history
The upstream README identifies the tool as a quick command-line wrapper around Chromium's `OpenTypeUtilities.cpp`, used to create EOT files from TTF or OpenType font files.
The README dates the original author note to 15-Mar-2009 and says the format is what Internet Explorer used for CSS `@font-face` declarations. GitHub metadata describes the current repository as an import of Taviso's tool from the now-defunct Google Code service.
Adoption history
ttf2eot belongs to the web-font compatibility period when developers needed EOT files for Internet Explorer while also shipping other font formats for newer browsers.
Its package-manager footprint is narrow but practical: the supplied package facts list Homebrew and MacPorts. That matches a tiny build-time converter used by web developers and font packagers rather than an end-user application.
How it is used
The documented usage is deliberately minimal: build with `make`, then run `./ttf2eot < input.ttf > output.eot`.
Because the tool reads from standard input and writes to standard output, it fits shell pipelines and asset build scripts.
Why package nerds care
ttf2eot is package-nerd significant precisely because it is so small: package managers kept a one-purpose compatibility converter available after the web platform moved on from EOT.
It is also an example of source-code migration history in package indexes: a Google Code-era utility imported to GitHub and preserved as a formula.
Timeline
- 2008: Microsoft's EOT submission is cited by the README as the format reference.
- 2009: The README author note dates the original utility to 15-Mar-2009.
- 2017: The GitHub repository is created as an import from defunct Google Code.
Related projects
- The README cites Chromium's `OpenTypeUtilities.cpp`, Microsoft's `TTLoadEmbeddedFont`, and the W3C EOT submission.
- The tool sits near other font conversion utilities such as ttf2pt1, but targets web EOT output rather than PostScript Type 1.
